Opera Web Browser (with an html address...)
I recently was looking to see if the web browser Opera was available for Linux. Well, when looking at their site I discovered that they are currently doing a poll of sorts to see how many Linux users (along with some other OSs) would be interested in their browser. They have pledged that if they have 3000 Linux people interested by the end of November (when the poll closes) that they will start working on developement. I don't know how many of you have used Opera in Windows, but it is great. Opera is a <1 MB binary which had many of the fancy features of Netscape and IE4 without the overhead weight. It is quite nice. Plus, back in my older days of pre-linux, it was the only browser I could get to install in Win3.11 with only an EGA monitor. That is how cool they are! Anyways, I wanted to encourage all my fellow Debian users to go to their page and respond. I know it isn't 100% kosher Debian Free Software Guideline software, but it would nicely replace those other two web browsers (what were they called) on the linux desktop. The Opera page can be found at http://opera.nta.no (sorry I forgot it the first time...) - Brought to you by the letters E and K and the number 9. Paul J.

problem with gpc
dear all,
i trying to use gpc to test my programs as i write them for a
programming class i am taking. anyways, i tried to compile my first
dinky little program and i get this error:
ld: cannot open -lgpc: No such file or directory
i am sure that it is not a problem in the program because it compiles
under gpc on another linux system (non-debian) and it compiles on our
campus VMS. it also looks to me to be a more system related problem.
what's up? (please help me!)
confused,
paul j. thompson
p.s. for good measure, here's the program:
PROGRAM LAB3 (INPUT,OUTPUT);
(* Paul J. Thompson*)
(* September 9, 1997 *)
(* CS2113 *)
(* Lab Section 1 *)
CONST
PRICE = 3;
VAR
ITEMS,
TOTALITEMS,
COST : INTEGER;
BEGIN
TOTALITEMS := 0;
WHILE NOT EOF DO
BEGIN
READLN(ITEMS);
TOTALITEMS := TOTALITEMS + ITEMS;
COST := ITEMS * PRICE;
WRITELN(ITEMS:3,' ITEMS COST $',COST:3);
END;
WRITELN;
WRITELN('TOTAL ITEMS SOLD = ',TOTALITEMS:3);
END.

Re: read-only root and usr partitions
Jean Pierre, thanks for the response. it seems like quite an undertaking, however -- a lot more files then i expected. maybe it really isn't a reality to mount root read-only but a better idea to simply keep it very regularly backed up. maybe, however, usr can still be mounted read-only. do you know of any files there which would prohibit this? > I find it unfortunate that /etc cannot be mount read-only.

read-only root and usr partitions
i don't have a ups but i do leave my linux system up all the time. it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to mount my root and usr filesystems read-only, so that if the power cut out, they would be as safe. what do i need to do in order to mount these in such a manner? i know of only one file specifically that is written to on those two partitions: /etc/mtab. is this the only one? if not, what are the others? if so, where is the proper place to repartition it so i can mount root and usr read-only? thanks, paul j. thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

MH problems with .maildelivery
hi. here's a qustion for all you mh users out there. i am having trouble getting my .maildelivery to work right. (it is listed at the bottom for reference. i am using sendmail, have a .forward file with the appropriate information in it, and a .maildelivery with several lines. i got the first parts to work, where i had mail from a couple mailing lists i belong to stored in an mh mailbox. the problem i am having, however, is with the last line which tells slocal to store all remaninding mail ing my system mailbox (/var/spool/mail/thomppj). here are the lines from a sample slocal debug file i have been keeping. ---start debug file error excerp--- vec[4]: "/var/spool/mail/thomppj" delivering to file "/var/spool/mail/thomppj" (uucp style), unable to open: Error 0 ---end debug file error excerp--- theres more in the debug file but that is all the error part. and another piece of information that i think might be relevant the status of my mail spool, /var/spool/mail/thomppj: -- start "ls -l /var/spool/mail/" --- total 183 -rw-rw 1 paul mail 186251 Sep 6 13:23 paul -rw-r--r-- 1 thomppj thomppj 0 Sep 6 13:07 thomppj --- end "ls -l /var/spool/mail/" --- i looked at this and thought it a little funny that the permissions and user.goup own settings of my mail spool are different then those of another spool in that directory, that of "paul" (another user i created on my system to forward all mail to until i get .maildelivery working properly. i believe that slocal is changing the permission and user.group own settings my spool because i tried chaging the stuff back with "chmod 660 thomppj" and "chgrp mail thomppj". that fixed the settings but they were screwed up again as soon as slocal tried to process another message to my mailspool. please help! thanks, paul j. thompson --- start. maildelivery --- # File debian-user mail to +lists/debuser: source debian-user | A "/usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +lists/debuser" # File linux-admin mail to +lists/linadm: source linux-admin | A "/usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +lists/linadm" # File linux-config mail to +lists/lincfg: source linux-config| A "/usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +lists/lincfg" # File linux-kernel mail to +lists/linadm: source linux-kernel| A "/usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +lists/linker" # Drop the rest into my maildrop: default - > ? /var/spool/mail/thomppj --- end .maildelivery --- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
